hi all and you Sheila
As Robert Eiichi has already commented MiniDisc is a perceptually-based
lossy compression device so depending on the aim of your work it will be
appropriate or not. If you just want to keep the intelligibility and a high
quality recording of speech, that's ok, it keeps precise prosodic features. But
if your aim is to process this signal to extract another features in a signal
processing scenario I would recommend a DAT device to avoid any loss of
information (objective).
hope it helps
Antonio
